We slept in till 9am, a result of all the late nights we have been having. This ain't due to partying, just a whole lot of football watching. We had a nice breakfast of tortilla wraps and coffee for only about 5 bucks.
After brekky we went in search of bikes to do some touring. The local bike sharing scheme would lend us bikes once we were registered, however that meant finding the central office. We eventually wound up at some random building, up three flights of stairs we went to an unmarked door. In we went and we had found it! But alas we needed passports which we had left at our apartment...no go on the bicycles.
We decided we would instead walk to the local flea market, only 2km away. But damn it got hot along the way, very humid and about 30C. We got there sweating and perused the goods.
Surprisingly a few of the sellers were Chinese! We heard them speaking mandarin, must be a direct export import business from China. I grabbed a nice street food style burger while Jackie had an icecream as an early lunch.
We didn't buy anything but caught the bus back to town, where we sat down in a local cafe for a coffee (semi-hot) and icecream! Yum.
Jackie was getting hungry for a real meal so went to the local maccas for a fillet-o-fish burger meal. Next stop was the tourist info office to enquire about trains/buses to our next destination. We found out some info but also learnt that we could climb the town hall tower at 12pm tomorrow - so we will try and do that before leaving town.
We went back to the room where Jackie watched some TV and I did some tapping, then in the late evening we headed out for a delicious pizza or two. After that the nightly routing set in - jackie tapping and me in front of the old box watching the Euros.
